Convert kilojoule/kilogram to calorie (it)/gram

Vice Versa: calorie (it)/gram to kilojoule/kilogram

Kilojoule/Kilogram

The kilojoule per kilogram (kJ/kg) is a practical unit of specific energy widely used in food science, combustion engineering, and thermodynamics. One kJ/kg equals 1000 J/kg. It is used to express calorific values of fuels and the enthalpy of phase changes such as vaporisation.

Calorie (IT)/Gram

The International Table calorie per gram (cal/g) is equal to 4186.8 J/kg and was historically used to express the energy content of food and fuels. It is defined by the International Table calorie (IT calorie), which equals 4.1868 J. It is used in nutrition and combustion science.
